Paragas, on the other hand, is jobless and said she depended on donations to pay for her son’s chemotherapy with each cycle costing P76,332.20. On top of this, both of them need to be tested for COVID-19 as required by the hospital every time he seeks treatment.
“Sometimes, I can’t push through with the treatment because I can’t pay for [the swab tests] and nobody wants to help,” Paragas said. “It’s really hard for me because I don’t know where to get the money.” Because of the harsh effects of chemotherapy, Untalan feels weak and suffers from headaches, making it difficult for him to work on his modules from school.“He really likes it. He says it’s because he wants to get better,” Paragas said.“Whenever I ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he says he wants to be a police officer to catch the bad guys. Just like that, he makes me laugh,” she added.
Those who want to help Untalan can deposit their donations in his mother’s BDO savings account . She can be contacted at 0907-1515439.
